Potato Fry | Urulai Varuval | Accompaniment for rice

Potato Fry, a simple yet delicious accompaniment for rice. Though i already have few potato fry recipes in my blog, unlike those recipes, it doesn't require cooking of potatoes ahead. So whenever i forget to cook the potatoes along with dal, i used to make this delicious potato fry as an accompaniment for our lunch.For this potato fry recipe, i highly recommend to use non-stick pan. Since the potato is raw, it sticks to the bottom of the pan easily while cooking, so non-stick pan helps to make this fry with much less oil, otherwise to avoid sticking and burning at the bottom, you may need little extra oil. Other than that, it's a super easy recipe and your potato fry would be ready in few mins. It tastes great with all kind of south indian meal, but my personal favorite is with bisi bele bath or with sambar and rice. If i make potato curry for kara kuzhambu, then i would prefer the potato podimas

Peel and cut the potatoes into small cubes, minced the garlic finely. Heat the pan with oil, add mustard and urad dal, let the mustard crackle, then add the garlic. Saute in the oil for 30 secs.Then add the potatoes and curry leaves, give a good stir, so that the potatoes coats well in oil. Now add all the spices(turmeric,red chili and sambar powder) & salt.Give a good mix , cover it with lid and let it cook, till the potatoes are soft. Stir in between to avoid sticking at the bottom. Tada, Simple yet tasty Potato Fry is ready.

Notes:

Adjust the chili powder as per your liking, the given quantity is for medium spice.

Instead of sambar powder, you can use garam masala powder too.

Cut the potatoes into small cubes, it helps to cook them easy and fast.
